Well, this is it. After 30 days of using the AppleTV I think I can say with confidence exactly what I think about the device from just about every angle. The AppleTV is a great little device, but (right now, at least) it’s not going to be for everyone…and there are very few people that […]

Ok, so today is the day we take a look at the numbers, and see if I spent more money in iTunes than I would have with cable and buying DVDs. Now, the first thing that I think I should mention, is that I didn’t buy as much TV as I thought I would. In […]

Apple Insider has the report, but the information comes from the conference call yesterday concerning Apple’s second quarter financial results. Basically, Apple is going to be adding additional features to both the AppleTV and the iPhone over time…and these features will be free. Including some entirely new applications for the iPhone. What kind of additional […]

So, that Harmony Remote issue…you guys were ON that. Thanks to everyone for their comments, and Mark especially for his Living with Mac screencast that really spelled everything out. I just followed it, and had the thing set up in a snap. Check it out here. In tomorrow’s post we’re going to go over the […]

I don’t have a very complicated home set up anymore. It’s just the AppleTV, a DVD player, a VCR, an Xbox360 and a Wii. Now, I say that’s not complicated, because I can operate almost all of it with one remote. My Logitech Harmony 520. I love my Harmony remote, and have really gotten used […]

Griffith over at Forever Geek pointed me towards the latest release of Handbrake which is now not only multi-platform, but also features AppleTV Support! I will be trying the software out tonight for a 30 Days of AppleTV post, and I’ll let you know what kind of luck I have with conversion times, but for […]

Here’s an interesting tip I discovered yesterday. Google Video has a feature where you can download iPod versions of the files posted on the site. For example, If you were to check out Pirates of Silicon Valley on Google Video, you could download the iPod version of the file… and guess what else? It plays […]

So, in the interest of journalism, and as an absolute necessity for covering all angles of a 30 Day AppleTV review, it was necessary for me to purchase an Xbox 360 this weekend. Now, before we even get started, let me say that it is obviously not 100% fair for me to compare these two […]

I have another minor gripe with the AppleTV (and maybe there is a better way to do this that I don’t know about). There are some shows that I only want the current episode of on the AppleTV. There are other shows that I am watching by the season that I would like to have […]
